I got a Kickr in late 2017. Used a combo of TR, Zwift and SufferFest, and got in the best shape of my life, even did a couple of full marathons. Illness/injury put me back a bit but I recovered fairly quickly. Then Covid hit, plus change in job, and as we came out of Covid my band kinda took off - So that’s a long way of saying that I’m overweight and very much out of shape, but hey, new year and all! So I’m jumping back in, confident because I’ve done it not once but twice!
A lot of changes since I was active. SufferFest doesn’t exist as a stand-alone anymore. No more Coach Chad, wtf. I tried to listen to the TR podcast which I dearly loved back when it was Nate, Jonathan and Chad but god, I couldn’t even get through a full episode. Really happy to see TR is still alive and well, the plans and Adaptive Training look very cool. Zwift is still around as the 800lb gorilla in the room, but they still don’t have the training plans I’d want to use, so - TR + Zwift it is for me!
I pasted a picture of my FTP history back when I first started out. I’m now starting out at about 180, so we’ll see what a 57yr old can do over the next year!.
